The Future?

So I've been really thinking a lot about doing what makes me happy. And that means going to Art Center in Pasadena. Unfortunately it comes at a big price. Not only would I have to change my work hours (which I'm hoping they would work with me on this,) and make less money, I'd be in about $120,000 of debt!!! <:o I've got a lot to think about. It's really frustrating. I get tired of having to get the idea of going to art school out of my mind. I hate that it's impossible and unattainable. It's not fair! My sister looked into the school for me because I wanted her opinion. She's really good with money and making right choices and she had some good advice for me. She said, "If this is what is going to bring you happiness then you need to invest in it and having loan debt upon completion should not stop you from fulfilling your dreams. We will always be in debt. If you want things in life, you have to accept debt." So at this point I'm really confused and uncertain about what to do. The other frustrating thing is that to apply to the school I have to have a portfolio showing 3 fully developed products. Aren't I going to school to LEARN how to do this?? Makes no sense. If I go to school full time and work less hours, I'll have to scrap plans to save for my next house. This sucks!!
